CUPKIN Stainless Steel Children's Cups Recalled for Excessive Lead Content

SOOJIMUS is recalling about 346,000 CUPKIN Double-Walled Stainless Steel Children's Cups because they contain lead levels that exceed the federal ban. Lead ingestion poses a health risk to young children.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Lead contamination in children's products presents a significant risk of harm to a vulnerable population. Although no illnesses have been reported, the hazard is known and well-established (lead toxicity in young children), and the product is designed for direct contact with children, meeting the High/3 threshold for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

SOOJIMUS LLC, operating as CUPKIN of Bothell, Washington, is recalling about 346,000 CUPKIN Double-Walled Stainless Steel Children's Cups in 8 oz. and 12 oz. sizes. The cups were sold in pairs in 12 color combinations, each with a matching straw, and printed with "Cupkin" on the front bottom.

The stainless-steel cups contain lead at levels that exceed the federal lead content ban. Lead is toxic if ingested by young children and can cause adverse health effects. No injuries have been reported.

The cups were sold online at Amazon.com and Cupkin.com from January 2018 through March 2023 for approximately $20 per pair. Consumers should immediately stop using the cups and keep them away from children.
